Should You Start or Sit LaPorta in Week 11?
With Dan Campbell taking over the play-calling responsibilities from John Morton last week, this offense looked free and loose again.
Of course, some of that could have been an awfully forgiving Commanders defense that may have finished the game with more punches thrown than defensive assignments fulfilled, but nonetheless, a wide-open passing attack is good news for those rostering Sam LaPorta.
He’s been a highly efficient player all season long (81.6% catch rate), and if this change means more volume through the air, their tight end could bump into the second tier at the position.
As it is, he’s in Tier 3, and that still means you play him weekly. I want to see some high-leverage usage (one end zone target this season), but that’s more of a cherry on top than a requirement given his stable target count.
